First things
first.....
What are your current stat's (height / weight / feet)?
Currently 12.5
stone
6' 2"
Size 11 Feet
Have you been
over-indulging during Christmas, partying or working out?
Not
much over crimbo. I
had a good new
years eve though.
Just the usual really and as a result I didn't put on any weight at all.
What particular
items of (HnM) kit are you using?
I am
currently using a DragoRossi Mafia.
It is just, shall we say, well awesome is the best way to describe it!
Do you have your
eyes on any new toys?
I'm hoping to
get my hands on a set of these Kober paddles that everyone else on the
team is raving about. I'd also like to have a go in a DragoRossi Stinger
or a Thruster very soon.
What techy kit
are you using?
Nothing too
expensive! I have an Olympus C770 Ultra zoom for stills and
Samsung DP 453 for video. I'm using a few different editing
suites to cut and chop videos and adobe photo shop for the stills.
Playboating or
river running?
Both have ups and
downs! I love river running it is awesome. The feel of nailing a line or
landing sweet on a drop or catching that last micro eddy gives me an
immense rush but playboating is fun relaxing and I always love landing
the vertical blunts and loops. I guess, if I had to pick one though,
river running just wins for me.
Where do you hang out mostly
these days and where do you paddle most of the time?
If its dry you're
most likely to find me on the Treweryn or Mile-End Mill but if there is
water I spend more time in north-mid Wales boating. If not I will
probably be in the Lake District.
So how was
2005-6?
The best
part has to be getting my sponsorship deal with HnM.
Then going on to win the liquid life 2005 jnr's event.
Traveling with my Mafia and paddling it in Austria was great fun.
Have you enjoyed
being part of team HnM?
Yeah its totally awesome.
Glenn and Jon are really easy to talk to and to get on with. They are
top blokes! LOL
Learned
any new moves / paddled any new rivers recently?
Bloomin
'eck!
Well I managed to do a loop in my Mafia. I had never done that in a
creek boat before. I have done countless new rivers, sections or runs
which has been great.
And what have you
got planned for 2006-7?
Ooh
that would be well telling but a far east expedition and a few more in
between. Time and finances allowing ;o)
Would you
encourage others to get involved as a sponsored paddler?
Is it hard
work? What are the pitfalls?
Yeah definitely.
It is a bit of hard work because every section of rivers I paddle I find
myself getting out and filming and taking pictures and then my mates do
the same for me. On the other hand it's great because you never forget
sections of rivers that you've run and it's great to think that other
people might get enjoyment from looking at the pictures that you've
taken. I would recommend it to anyone.
Who's the best
paddler on the HnM team?
Well I only
actually have experience of paddling with Dan H but I've seen pictures
and movie clips of "D" and Darren K in action. What can I
say? They're also great so from experience lil' Dan but I'm open to a
competition between us all to determine who's best! ha ha ;-)
Any idea who on
earth this Baciare Miocome is?
A lover or Italian
hardcore and furry handcuffs apparently!
Are you sure?
Well google seems
to say so.....
He's behind you!
;-)
Oh hey there "Bac".
Come here, let me get my cuffs ;-)
